State police have arrested a Danielson man accused of a bomb threat.
State police responded to United Services, a mental health services facility on North Main Street in Killingly, at 10:42 a.m. to investigate a report of a man heading over in a taxi with an explosive in his backpack.
Staff from United Services identified the man as Floyd Lambert, 54, of Danielson, according to police.
Neighbors then reported that Lambert showed them a bag in his backpack that looked like a bomb.
During the investigation, police determined that Lambert called for a taxi from Generations Health Care in Putnam, so police responded there and arrested Lambert, who was at the facility with a backpack, officials said.
Lambert told police he didn’t have an explosive device and said there had been a misunderstanding between him and his therapist, police said.
That facility was also evacuated and no explosive was found. Police also searched Lambert’s home and didn’t find anything dangerous.
